SAID principle! Specific Adaption to Imposed Demand. You have frequency, intensity and volume...pick 2 and the third is determined. If you want to work out frequently, say everyday, then volume must be low...1-2 sets per body part. You will also need to vary your intensity. Most gymnasts train every day and they are strong, fit and look great!
This is what i dont understand about gym workouts. They provide a program without being precise and specific about it. For instance what do u mean " 1 or 2 sets per body part" ? If im doing lsits and planches and handstands then how does it relate to eg the triceps ? They re all hitting triceps. Even bb when working triceps specifically on monday that does mean they are not hitting them on wed too when doing chest. That doesnt mean they hv to wait a whole another week or 5 days for triceps again.
Iridescent Namikaze , good morning. I work out almost everyday using calisthenics and heavy duty resistance bands. I understand your point about multi-joint exercises...body part only refers to the major target. For example, the standard push-up’s major target is chest but it recruits your entire body. When I was a much younger man, I did bodybuilding workouts.
Im currently doing 200 push ups, 200 rows the next day and 500 Squats the next (bodyweight only) Would i be better doing100,100,250 of each a day instead of a higher volume split?
@@CKR000 It leads to bullshit, dont rape your body, listen to your body. Three times a week for you, and rest for your body to rest, regenerate and breathe. I do training three times a week, i look like bruce lee man, belive me.
I listen to my body. There are days when I can't do anything. I have health issues. I rest, but as soon as I'm able to I get back into things. These days my exercises are done for mobility purposes. I don't even do isolation exercises. I do compound movements. It saves me time, and ease too. I stick with a regime too.
I train to failure! I listen to my body! I don’t let anyone dictate how long I workout, what muscle groups that I train on what days, how long that I rest or how many days I workout, period! My body always does better if I keep it moving & I progress quicker if I keep on pushing forward! I will stop if I’m tired! Resting is for bedtime! Of course if I’m really sore I let the muscle rest but God gave me more than one muscle… I have been doing calisthenics since I was 5 yrs old and I’m 58 now, love it! ❤ Thank you for this info! 🙏🏻
Very very simple explanation; your body adapts to the lifestyle you live. If you require more from your body, your body will become capable of it or die trying.
From what I've seen if you don't go to failure you can do every day, prison style. It won't build as much mass but will improve strength and stamina which results in extra reps
Past a certain point, there's no reason to build more mass, it's mainly about strength and stamina. Really the ideal would be to have tiny muscles that are extremely strong with tons of stamina. It doesn't look impressive, which is a benefit for those that don't want to be targets for idiots looking to prove their toughness.
With the amount of people maming things over complicated and sl much scam and promotion. This is new. Keep up the good work. We all appreciate you taking your time to keep is educated and keep thi gs simple.
I am a 58 year old woman, want to get back in shape. Having a hard time getting to the gym because of my schedule. So I saw your Minus the Gym and decided to find a simple program to do without the gym. Started on 12/26 doing 50 burpees and 50 squats for time.(5x10 reps each) LOL 10.42 was my first time. With most burpees being step back burpees. Now I am at 50 burpees, 50 squats and 30 DB Presses with 10lbs each arm. (5x10 reps burpees and 10 squats with 6 presses) time 9.25 yesterday with 26 of the burpees being jump back and 24 step back. For me , taking out the gym has taken out my excuses. After watching this, I think I will do this every other day and plan out a core workout for the balance. My goal is for my time to be 8 minutes and all burpees be kick back.
Kathryn Drinkard excellent progress! Way to go 😊And I really like what you said here: "For me , taking out the gym has taken out my excuses." That's so true. I noticed the same. I can get in a great workout in 15-20 minutes at home with nothing but my body and gravity, so not having time to get to a gym in the past was holding me back too. Keep it up!
I as well improved my strength during the 100 push up everyday challenge. By the end of the first week, I jumped from ~17 push ups in a row to 40 that's insane :O
@@VanceT45 if u do high count of reps u will get strength too but i will progress couple times more than u by doing max to 4-6 reps. so its waste of time doing 40 reps if u want to be strong
@@kebub1 esse máximo de 4-6 repetições tem que ter carga né? Ou uma variação mais difícil? Porque se eu faço flexões tradicional, e você faz de 4-6 repetições dessa flexão tradicional, e eu faço 40 repetições dessa flexão, por que diabos você desenvolveria mais força do que eu? Se eu estou fazendo mais números que sua flexão normal?
actually i did it like u said and iv done 1-2 days break between the trainings, now i train every day calisthenics and surprisingly iv got more results from that
days off are needed when you do big tares in the muscle fibers, it takes almost a week to fully recover from a major tare. but you only tare that bad when you push that muscle over the top, think when you first hit the gym in a while or when you up your weights.
Calisthenics every day can't be more taxing than roofing 5 days a week 8-12 hours per day like I used to do in my early 20s. Up and down ladders including carrying 80lb packs of shingles and equipment, tearing off and installing shingles, and setup and cleanup. Granted, you need to have more and less intense days to avoid injury.
Wow, that’s a good point 🤔 I’ve never worked an intense physical labor job like that. Big upside to it would be that you don’t need to make time for fitness if your job is that physical.
@@MinusTheGym Yeah, dude. I grew up on a farm, then did track and martial arts in high school, then worked construction, then joined the military. I basically "trained" everyday growing up and so on, just taking the weekends "off" to have fun, I guess. Of course, I ate a ton too, especially milk was a daily for my family. I actually gained 11lbs in basic training because I ate better there than I did at home, and the exercises were actually easier than what I was accustomed to (but plenty of other people found it quite challenging - city boys, amirite? haha). Now I'm a veteran going to school for physical therapy and just exercise to stay healthy and fit. Love your channel!
I work out EVERY day... BUT people think that means I'm "going hard" every day. I do intense training 2 to 3 times a week and light training 2 to 3 times a week and deep stretching at least once a week.
If you put it in the context of a natural setting, I.e hunter/gather/forager/surviving in an environment that contains predators, there'd be a certain amount of every day exertion required. 100 pull ups/Press ups/some cardio could simulate living wild. Wild animals are a whole lot healthier on the whole than modern humans. Which flows on the diet....
Most wild animals don't make it to 10 years, while smokers and alcoholics can make it to 80 easily. Turtles being the an exception due to their crazy life span.
@@NasirFrye plenty of wild animals have massive life spans. Also if u eat and train wild, but live in a 'civilised' society, then one has the best of both worlds, wild animal health/ fitness, and a safe place to sleep at night
Agreed. Life has been pretty physically demanding for most humans who have ever walked the earth. The least I can do to honor that physiological heritage is train daily.
Topic idea: how to fit in full body calisthenics strength routines when you're on limited time, say 45 minutes 3 times a week. One of the programs I'm doing takes about 90 minutes (excluding leg work!), 3 times a week. Any questioning of reducing this is met with "advice" from 19 year olds telling us older folk to just "manage your time better".
My workout consists of Jump rope for 30+ minutes (warm-up), HIIT with interval times interlaced with pushup-planks on a bosu ball, walking in a circle on hands with my feet on the bosu ball, lower-back raises laying on stomach, either crunches touching toes off my back or lunges like a wrestler going for a single-A, after 3 rounds shadow-kickboxing. In the middle of that "HIIT" I'll take off for a 2-3 miles run where toward the end I do pullups and chinups until I can't do but just one rep. Finish the HIIT ending with burpees, pushup-planks off the bosu ball, then a body weight squat jumping jack pushup plank-knee-raises work out. This all totals about 3 hours sometimes just over 2 hours. Is this considered "intense?" I've been doing it every day of my vacation, but when working I only do it 3 days a week. You're right, everything gets "lighter" and easier when you do it many consecutive days and you're really not all that sore, but muscles aren't getting needed rest to build up either.
I think rest days might be a bit over emphasised for your layman. Probably more so for powerlifters. Would be interesting to see if there are updated studies on the need to rest
The need to "rest" is dependent on training intensity, volume and work capacity. Check out the Norwegian frequency project. There are several powerlifting teams that train frequently, and this is pretty much the norm in oly lifting.
Doesn't this all depend upon how well you recover from the workouts? People have different gradients of recovery, which means that not everyone will be able to train everyday, at least not effectively.
I think if you’re doing handstand practice for 10 to 15 mins a day, then yes don’t take rest days. I was getting (too) into it and would practice for 2 hours straight every day and after a few weeks my arms started to burn out. Now I force myself to take days off so my arms can recover.
As a person who’s been training mobility and joint strength for 3 weeks straight. I will say my body is shot. I need at least a week break at the moment
Raven Shadowz I’ve heard of the book called Supple Leopard on one of Joe Rogan’s podcasts in it stating that we can work out everyday as long as we don’t over do. Just play everyday and the cumulative is more than going all out 3 days a week.
I don't think daily training calisthenics is a good idea. Unless if you have other skills or things to work on yes. Like the light cardio or using row machine for active recovery. Or for me playing soccer (k.a. Football in Europe) and archery (rarely). But doing hiking or trail running would help not only to having stamina but using calisthenics and parkour to advantage. But going back to topic of training calisthenics everyday; unless if you have other hobbies of lifting, sports, outdoor activites, dancing, etc. I think you can, emphasis both cardio and mobility routines. Also try Qi Gong, the exercise bascially requires your body of using pain to circulate nerves and activating cells in your body.
Want to get strong? Take up scaffolding 5 days a week. Personal Anecdote: 2 months of ground work (hand digging footings etc) went from chipollatta to hot dog....both size and strength was impressive for only 2 months of everyday working the shovel, spade and wheelbarrow..Hope this helps?
Gimp Master I believe it! I've never worked with scaffolding but I've dug post holes by hand and that's some hard work. Definitely great daily exercise 👍
I got into the best shape of my life Stack Testing. climb 100 to 300 foot towers and moving equipment up that far will do it every time.You will never see a fat Stack Tester
Yeah, agreed. It was after a little break, from what I recall. I strained a muscle at the end of the challenge (rhomboid, I think), took some days off to let it heal and then tested my max.
I think the textbook stuff is true and wrong about needing rest days. People don't understand that the body is designed for a maximum output no more or less. If you lived a perfect bodybuilder life and ate everything correct and exercised with the perfect program you will reach the goal of becoming as strong as possible you can be. However nobody is at that stage. Some people are at the stage where they only reached 5% of their strength potential and lift at 4% of their potential. Such a person probably doesn't need rest days because they are so far from their maximum strength potential that their bones, ligaments, recovery rate and central nervous is so far from reaching failure. However if you have reached 85% of your strength potential and lift 80% of your potential you will need rest days because your body systems to support it will be taxed very quickly. Over training is a good way to break personal best and plateau
I realise, I really need to work on my handstand, I hope I can do one by the end of this quarantine (I'm pretty solid in the frogstand at this point). Wish me luck!
Thomas you can! If you believe it, you can achieve it. Remember that. It's mostly a mind game. If your frogstand is solid, you're already part of the way there. You have a taste of hand balancing already. So start working on headstands and handstand kickups both in front of a wall tomorrow. Or even today, if you have time. And if quarantine is giving you extra time, use it. There's nothing wrong with training handstands twice a day as long as you're not sore/fatigued. You got this 💪
@@MinusTheGym Thanks for the support! You really opened my eyes on why skill training is so important. Because one big reason why I started was when I saw those moves online and I wanted to do them by myself. Same with Muscle-ups and Planche push-ups. But those gonna take some more time ^^. Stay safe!
I do try weighted callisthenics everyday but it’s definitely not possible without some rest day. When I’m burnt out I literally don’t wanna do anything that’s good sign to take rest
I am not pro but I'm sure that if your pull up max is just 15 and you do 100 every day, you will go up on max no matter what because it is still training. So is expected. But if you did same but with rest days, ofc max would be little more.
Love your videos, but I really think improving the lighting would just bring them to a whole new level! I think you should check out Nigel Barros' videos for that, and especially the one titled "How To Make A $300 Camera Look Pro!"
Luca Isabella thanks man. I actually do have lights but didn't set them up for this video. I usually set them up, though. This one was a bit improvised compared to my usual stuff :)
Minus The Gym looking back at other videos, I did see that this is not your norm, and in fact it seemed really weird to me as I didn’t remember it to be like this. It may be a detail as small as the screens behind you that throw everything off though.
I am assuming the body is really amazing at recovering even though it is dealing with stress daily and can adapt and maybe even evolve little by little.
I think you need rest days if you want to speed up your strength gains. For endurance you do not need them that much. I also think it is safer to exercise daily but not push to 100%, keep it at safer level. Do low intensity training multiple times a day is generally better.
I don't like working out at all, I have to force myself. so what minimum routine of yours can you suggest? as short as possible timewise and not more than 3 times a week for max results? the goal is health and good shape.
I live inside your house I am working out as well, but I want to optimize and shorten the time invested. atm I am doing hiit sprints, walking and some bodyweight exercises. I swim 7 months a year in the sea, atm during winter this is only once a week because water is now 11 C. I like these outdoor activities. my problem is these exercises I have to do at home, I want it to be as brief as possible.
If your still Alive and moving let’s talk you need to figure out the exercises that you like to do for example you don’t like to do anything ? Not even walking ? No squats nothing I mean they are mutiple different ways to workout swimming rock climbing , and hiking many things you can do
I'm currently doing 2x10 Chins 2x10 Diamonds On a daily basis, for a few weeks. I'm wanting to incorporate this, along with Dips, as my warm up before Strength Training. I've been working out, on and off, for many years, and am currently enrolled on a Gym Instructor course, so I understand the need to have a Rest Day/Days. This is a short term thing, few weeks, so I'm not thinking there's any problem with it. Thoughts, anyone?
This is awesome. I train about 3 hard sets of push ups, 3 hard sets of pull ups, and 3 sets of squats daily, and have done so for a few years now. Results have been superb.
I would recommend researching greasing the groove (high frequency and low intensity) as this increases strength without overly draining the muscles. Also by keeping the daily minimum small you will always be able to stay consistent and you can perform or overperform, I find that flexibility very helpful in building habits (Elastic Habits by Stephen Guise).

Every day builds a great foundation. it's like riding a bike 2 miles to school and 2 miles to home, everyday. The body adjusts and adapts to it.

I think if you’re doing handstand practice for 10 to 15 mins a day, then yes don’t take rest days. I was getting (too) into it and would practice for 2 hours straight every day and after a few weeks my arms started to burn out. Now I force myself to take days off so my arms can recover.
Just do less every day
I'm doing nucleus overload 5x per week deload after 5/6 weeks for my calves they really need it
Thank you!
Congrats man! You deserve it! Thanks for the great content!
As a person who’s been training mobility and joint strength for 3 weeks straight. I will say my body is shot. I need at least a week break at the moment
Professor Attila and Eugen Sandow, instructed their students to workout every day, no rest days.
Raven Shadowz I’ve heard of the book called Supple Leopard on one of Joe Rogan’s podcasts in it stating that we can work out everyday as long as we don’t over do. Just play everyday and the cumulative is more than going all out 3 days a week.
Thanks ❤
When jhonny sins was personal trainor? 😂😂
He is a jack of all trades after all
Have you heard of nuclei overload training? Maybe that explains the daily grind of the 100 pushups and 100 pullups
Short answer yes
I don't think daily training calisthenics is a good idea. Unless if you have other skills or things to work on yes. Like the light cardio or using row machine for active recovery. Or for me playing soccer (k.a. Football in Europe) and archery (rarely). But doing hiking or trail running would help not only to having stamina but using calisthenics and parkour to advantage. But going back to topic of training calisthenics everyday; unless if you have other hobbies of lifting, sports, outdoor activites, dancing, etc. I think you can, emphasis both cardio and mobility routines. Also try Qi Gong, the exercise bascially requires your body of using pain to circulate nerves and activating cells in your body.
congrats
Want to get strong? Take up scaffolding 5 days a week.
Personal Anecdote: 2 months of ground work (hand digging footings etc) went from chipollatta to hot dog....both size and strength was impressive for only 2 months of everyday working the shovel, spade and wheelbarrow..Hope this helps?
Gimp Master I believe it! I've never worked with scaffolding but I've dug post holes by hand and that's some hard work. Definitely great daily exercise 👍
I agree, I'm a gardener and always digging / moving soil compost etc. And lots of hedge trimming through the summer
The biggest/most jacked I ever got was from 4 months of pushing a big punt boat up and down a river 7 days a week.
Submaximal high frequency training can work as long as you figure out your optimal frequency, intensity, and get enough sleep.
I got into the best shape of my life Stack Testing. climb 100 to 300 foot towers and moving equipment up that far will do it every time.You will never see a fat Stack Tester
Your pull ups increasing during the 100 challenge is kinda strange but not unbelievable.
Yeah, agreed. It was after a little break, from what I recall. I strained a muscle at the end of the challenge (rhomboid, I think), took some days off to let it heal and then tested my max.
I think the textbook stuff is true and wrong about needing rest days. People don't understand that the body is designed for a maximum output no more or less. If you lived a perfect bodybuilder life and ate everything correct and exercised with the perfect program you will reach the goal of becoming as strong as possible you can be. However nobody is at that stage. Some people are at the stage where they only reached 5% of their strength potential and lift at 4% of their potential. Such a person probably doesn't need rest days because they are so far from their maximum strength potential that their bones, ligaments, recovery rate and central nervous is so far from reaching failure.
However if you have reached 85% of your strength potential and lift 80% of your potential you will need rest days because your body systems to support it will be taxed very quickly.
Over training is a good way to break personal best and plateau
I will go hard on certain days and in between super light just for movement exercises
thanks!
I realise, I really need to work on my handstand, I hope I can do one by the end of this quarantine (I'm pretty solid in the frogstand at this point). Wish me luck!
Thomas you can! If you believe it, you can achieve it. Remember that. It's mostly a mind game. If your frogstand is solid, you're already part of the way there. You have a taste of hand balancing already. So start working on headstands and handstand kickups both in front of a wall tomorrow. Or even today, if you have time. And if quarantine is giving you extra time, use it. There's nothing wrong with training handstands twice a day as long as you're not sore/fatigued. You got this 💪
@@MinusTheGym Thanks for the support! You really opened my eyes on why skill training is so important. Because one big reason why I started was when I saw those moves online and I wanted to do them by myself. Same with Muscle-ups and Planche push-ups. But those gonna take some more time ^^. Stay safe!
You can do hundreds of pushups a day if u want u only need to rest if u feel u need to
Uncle Jonny!
NUCLEUS OVERLOAD
I do try weighted callisthenics everyday but it’s definitely not possible without some rest day. When I’m burnt out I literally don’t wanna do anything that’s good sign to take rest
Yeah, if you’re doing weighted exercises and pushing your max on each set, 3x a week is a good schedule, at least for me.
I am not pro but I'm sure that if your pull up max is just 15 and you do 100 every day, you will go up on max no matter what because it is still training. So is expected. But if you did same but with rest days, ofc max would be little more.
Love your videos, but I really think improving the lighting would just bring them to a whole new level! I think you should check out Nigel Barros' videos for that, and especially the one titled "How To Make A $300 Camera Look Pro!"
Luca Isabella thanks man. I actually do have lights but didn't set them up for this video. I usually set them up, though. This one was a bit improvised compared to my usual stuff :)
Minus The Gym looking back at other videos, I did see that this is not your norm, and in fact it seemed really weird to me as I didn’t remember it to be like this. It may be a detail as small as the screens behind you that throw everything off though.
You trained weighted pull ups in monday and you train again friday for recover huh? How sweet you are
thanks Johnny Sins !
I am assuming the body is really amazing at recovering even though it is dealing with stress daily and can adapt and maybe even evolve little by little.
I think you need rest days if you want to speed up your strength gains. For endurance you do not need them that much. I also think it is safer to exercise daily but not push to 100%, keep it at safer level. Do low intensity training multiple times a day is generally better.
Totally. Daily training works excellent when you aren't going 100% each time. That being said, there are some people that can make it happen.
I don't like working out at all, I have to force myself. so what minimum routine of yours can you suggest? as short as possible timewise and not more than 3 times a week for max results? the goal is health and good shape.
If you don't like working out then it doesn't matter the routine because you won't stick with it anyway.
I hates them too. But I ended up doing them anyway. My workouts contains 1-2 hours, 5 days a week.
I live inside your house I am working out as well, but I want to optimize and shorten the time invested. atm I am doing hiit sprints, walking and some bodyweight exercises. I swim 7 months a year in the sea, atm during winter this is only once a week because water is now 11 C. I like these outdoor activities. my problem is these exercises I have to do at home, I want it to be as brief as possible.
If your still Alive and moving let’s talk you need to figure out the exercises that you like to do for example you don’t like to do anything ? Not even walking ? No squats nothing I mean they are mutiple different ways to workout swimming rock climbing , and hiking many things you can do
I'm currently doing
2x10 Chins
2x10 Diamonds
On a daily basis, for a few weeks. I'm wanting to incorporate this, along with Dips, as my warm up before Strength Training.
I've been working out, on and off, for many years, and am currently enrolled on a Gym Instructor course, so I understand the need to have a Rest Day/Days.
This is a short term thing, few weeks, so I'm not thinking there's any problem with it.
Thoughts, anyone?
This is awesome. I train about 3 hard sets of push ups, 3 hard sets of pull ups, and 3 sets of squats daily, and have done so for a few years now. Results have been superb.
I would recommend researching greasing the groove (high frequency and low intensity) as this increases strength without overly draining the muscles.
Also by keeping the daily minimum small you will always be able to stay consistent and you can perform or overperform, I find that flexibility very helpful in building habits (Elastic Habits by Stephen Guise).
In calisthenics yes for every day. In extra weight every other day. To do different sections
To me if ik not tranning physically every day I'm training mentality everyday
I do it yearly once
muscle isolafion is fhe key
